TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Civil society organizations from across Indonesia will convene a national consolidation meeting titled "Reorganizing the Republic" on Sunday, June 28, 2026, in Jakarta.
The conference aims to formulate a shared platform and work program for Indonesia's civil society movement.
The event, to be held at the University of Indonesia's Salemba campus, will also discuss the establishment of a civil society organization and appoint an interim leadership team to implement the conference's outcomes.
"The goal is to become a pillar of the republic," the organizing committee said in a statement on Friday, June 26.
The conference will open with keynote reflections by former Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said and Jaleswari Pramodhawardani, who served as Deputy Chief of Staff at the Presidential Staff Office for political, legal, and defense affairs from 2016 to 2023.
Participants will then take part in three plenary sessions, including a final consolidation session to approve a common platform outlining the civil society coalition's position and priorities.
The conference's final resolutions are scheduled to be adopted on Sunday afternoon. Muhammad Isnur, chair of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI), and Jakarta-based indie rock band Efek Rumah Kaca will deliver the closing epilogue before the event concludes.
The Jakarta gathering follows the first Republic Conference, held at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta on May 30, 2026. That meeting identified what participants described as overlapping crises affecting multiple aspects of Indonesia's political, social, and institutional life.
According to the conference organizers, civil society participants also expressed concern that Indonesia's democratic institutions have increasingly failed to perform their representative and oversight functions, despite continuing to operate formally.
The organizers argued that the country is facing a multidimensional crisis that extends across sectors and has weakened the relationship between citizens and the state.
"Therefore, Indonesian civil society needs to organize itself to reorganize the republic," Republic Conference Committee Secretary-General Yanuar Nugroho said following the inaugural conference on May 31.
